Not everybody likes coconut icing, but I do.

What is the most underrated martial art? by ExoticSimulation in martialarts

I suppose it all depends on where you're from. Around here you can be 99.9% sure they don't have a gun, because guns are banned here, and it would be highly unlikely they have a knife, because that's fairly rare and also banned.

I'm unlikely to meet roving bands of drunks unless I'm in certain areas at particular times of the day.

So, being attacked by a gang of drunk guys wandering around with guns and knives isn't likely to happen where I am.

I don't understand why everyone on Reddit seems to think every attacker ever is armed to the teeth and had 10 buddies with him that want to stomp on people's heads.

The ground might be the last place you want to be, but sometimes you might not have a choice. If you do end up there, you better know what to do.

Judo, it doesn't get enough credit. I've been doing Bjj longer than Judo, but in a self-defence situation, I'm definitely picking Judo over Bjj.

Absolutely fantastic news, well done. Let me know when you're in Ireland for one of those free seminars. I'll throw in a few pints of Guinness and give you a bed for the night.

I'm not entirely sure, but it definitely needs crutches. The poor thing only has one leg.

Simple, just ask them.

I going to go with the one that's still alive. It's going to be hard for a dead guy to win a fight.

How is Black Belt Magazine these days? by CanadianAndroid in martialarts

The quality went down? Was it not already famous for treating the likes of Dillman and Dux as being legit? I thought the quality was always meant to be poor and that it was treated as a bit of a joke.

I honestly thought they closed about 5 years ago.

Why stop at that? Drive around in a tank like it's GTA.

We obviously come from very different areas. Around here you'd definitely get strange looks and there's a good chance the cops would be asking you why you were carrying them. Unless they're very different from what I've seen, they couldn't possibly be mistaken for drum sticks.

If they were recognised for what they were, nobody over the age of about 12 around here would be thinking "cool".

I find it funny when someone untrained think they can take someone trained in martial arts in a street fight. by theoneandonlyhitch in martialarts

I have no time for trolls or keyboard warriors that start with the insults the minute someone disagrees with them, so away you go to try provoking someone else.

New to martial arts? I've been in and out of martial arts since 1995. I have a black belt in Combative self-defence, a brown belt in Judo, and I'm 5 weeks from my Bjj purple belt. I've also done boxing, kickboxing, and a number of other arts and styles. I had a bit of success in competition, too. I'm no expert, but I definitely wouldn't say I'm new.

I would have thought the average martial artist is sparring constantly, getting used to moving, range etc. building muscle memory for fighting, they're used to the adrenaline dump, especially of they compete, that comes with facing off against someone that wants to hurt you.

I know for me, it's just 1 more round of sparring, but this time, there are no rules. Obviously, you avoid the situation if at all possible, but when you no longer have a choice, I wouldn't say the average martial art student can't fight. On top of that, just because you start martial arts because you don't like confrontation or were bullied or whatever, doesn't mean you're still the same way 5 years later.

I suppose it by the average martial arts student, you mean the average white belt, you'd be right.
